Aaarrrrgggghhhhh Bloody Germans <G>

"live" viewing.
Its a mistake that is made absolutely everywhere, especially in the press, who
should really know better. I'm absolutely astounded about how many Germans (I
live in Germany),
are nearly perfect with their English but make this mistake. But we see it in
"Clever Modern"
advertising all the time now.
"the length of someone's life"
"The concert was shown live in TV"
"I live in my house", etc.
There's certainly no system in things like those in the English language.
Sorry, just a pet rant of mine.
